|a The purpose of this study was to test an inference from Jarvis’ (1987, 2006) model of experiential learning that the cultural context moderates the influence of demographic variables in the prediction of SDLR. The study pursued this purpose by examining the extent to which age, gender, and level of education predict SDLR scores differently in a sample from an individualistic cultural context and a sample from a collectivistic cultural context. Analyses of 169 participants from organizations in the U.S. and the Caribbean state of St. Kitts-Nevis revealed that in the aggregated sample, culture predicts SDLRS with a large effect size. Moreover, when analyzed as a moderator of the demographic predictors, culture predicts SDLRS with a medium effect size. Age predicts SDLRS in both cultures. In the collectivistic culture age predicts SDLRS with a large effect size while in the individualistic culture it predicts SDLRS with a medium effect size. Level of education predicts SDLRS only in the collectivistic sample with a medium effect size. Finally, gender does not predict SDLRS in either culture. However, it does predict SDLRS when the cultures were aggregated. |
